The spectrum is dominated by a broad HeII 468.6 nm emission, while
the strong Balmer lines are unresolved and likely contaminated by the host
galaxy lines. The spectral features including the continuum are similar
to those of SN 1998S few days after explosion, after allowing for a substantial
reddening which is consistent with the presence of a strong NaID Galactic
absorption (EW~0.6 nm). The redshift is from Theureau et al. 1998 A&AS,
